Sleep patterns for my baby?

Should I feed my baby often during the day so that it will help her sleep through the night? Also what is the longest alert time for a 4 month old. What time should I wake her after the afternoon nap so that she sleeps through the night?

The rule Ive always heard is under 6 months when they are hungry. You cant spoil your baby. If the baby sleeps at night I wouldnt wake them up but if they wake you you can feed them. This also depends on your life style. For me I feed my baby when he was hungry and didnt think past it. My doctor told me it was fine and I could make a more strict schedule when I was ready to commit. It really depends on what works for you. Sorry not too much help.
